“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Incidentally, Andrija’s call came late Sunday morning as Jane and I were eating breakfast and reading the paper. Jane picked the phone up after the first ring. As the phone rang, I was tempted to say to her, “That’s going to be a very important call for you.” At once afterward I thought that such an event was quite unlikely on a Sunday morning. I told Jane about my “hunch” immediately after the call; hence, long before her very successful voicing of Seth, Sumari, etc. Later in the day. I was curious after the call to see how we’d react to the visit.

Now: it may seem to most people that an exuberant, always-vital, energetic, healthy body would indeed be one of the greatest gifts of all—a body that never worried or showed signs of any disorder, a body that went ahead on its own, so to speak, propelled by feelings of strength and vigor. This certainly sounds like a fine ideal. Yet I tell you that in such a body you would finally feel like a prisoner, for your moods and reflections, your feelings and your thoughts, would find no responsive mirror in your flesh.

(To me:)You are stubborn. Your own thoughts wore you out. You needed to let down, and you would not do it. You could not take a vacation, you felt. You worried about time and your painting and “Unknown” Reality, and you would not relax. You worried about other issues that I told you about—taxes and money. You not only worried about the present, but you dwelled upon the “past mistakes.” You remembered doing Ruburt’s Dialogues drawings, and Adventures diagrams, and those thoughts crowded your present. To some extent, it is quite valid to say—though you may not agree with me—that you might as well have had all that work to do now as well.

Now: you can depress the body and the mind through certain drugs, destroying that great natural resiliency. A concentration upon negative thoughts and feelings to the exclusion of all else, will depress the mind and body as surely as any drugs.
